Securing The Knot : Bonding


'An innocent heart cannot be captured by showering presents but only by cherished moments shared with it.'

Bond between two human beings is just like a string tied amidst two hearts channeling emotions amongst them. Once a soul connects to another, the heart slips and the two souls sway with one another in the rhythm of life. In the human race, we by and large come across two sorts of bonding – one which God bequests to us in form blood relations early from the day we enter this world and the other manmade with the ones we crash into in our journey in this planet. The tie between a mother and a child knows no bounds and is undeniably a compilation of almost all the earthly ‘happy’ feelings be it be love, anger so on and so forth wrapped into a single package portrayed by just a simple word ‘Maa’.


A child’s heart freed of voracity, self –indulgence, revulsion and abhorrence bonds more fondly than those who have spent a considerable amount of time in this double faced world. Those precious humble moments that any adult spends with a toddler may be the rarest one to sense bliss in this tiring years. 

रहिमन धागा प्रेम का, मत तोरो चटकाय.
टूटे पे फिर ना जुरे, जुरे गाँठ परी जाय


Counting on the preceding famous lines of the honorary saint and poet “Rahim”, those modest beings are akin to fragile glass centerpiece are more prone to be wounded on slightest actions and consequently dealt with diligence.

Indubitably it is evident that each and every member assembling Aasra into many bodies but one soul comprehends the bonding between this altruistic group of NITR with the pure souls residing in different sectors of the steel city.Empathy leading to spread the light of knowledge amidst the mist of ignorance is one of the supreme sentiment known to the mankind. The smile generated because of minute effort fortifies exponentially this special bond. Almost every other individual skips a beat ‘coz of happiness the instant all the kids sprint forward and cuddle up against you. All other worldly experiences can barely match up to the love for those tiny ones counting the days awaiting our arrival. Watching those adorable faces gleaming with elation is beyond doubt a heartwarming sensation. Those days in Aasra shall definitely be printed in golden letters on the pages of life.

Jagda: Of Little Hearts and Mighty Dreams

Image
A Family, Together Forever As cliched as it sounds, I am still honestly relieved that we are done with 2020 now. Yes, I know it’s just a change in a single digit, and globally the situation remains roughly the same but still. It’s only two months into 2021, and India, especially, seems to be in a much better place in terms of the pandemic. AASRA isn’t to be left behind then. We have had the integration of new inductees and foundation day celebration to begin the year with. Hopefully, we will have much more to come. All optimism around the new year aside, 2020 was definitely a hard year for us. For a club that works locally, this situation presented unprecedented challenges. But it’s not in AASRA’s culture to give up and we continued offering our services wherever possible. One of the workplaces where the teaching-learning process continued throughout the year is Jagda.  We began teaching online in July and thanks to the dedicated efforts of the members, we are still going strong.

Lighting Lives, Making a Difference: Diya Project 2k17

Image
New clothes, sweets, crackers. Diwali is a time of joy and celebration. But there are many who aren't fortunate enough. For the poor, buying things during festivals can be nothing but a far fetched dream. We at AASRA believe that there's no greater joy than the joy of serving the poor and the less fortunate ones. Each year, we create employment opportunities for dozens of poor women during Diwali, so that they have enough money to celebrate the festival of lights with their families. DIYA PROJECT is our greatest and most awaited project every year, for which every volunteer of AASRA puts in a lot of effort (and love). We buy diyas from a wholesale seller, and buy decorative items such as glitter powder, paints etc. We go to three workplaces and ask the women there to decorate these Diyas for us. Our volunteers roam around the campus of NITR, visiting faculty and students and taking orders for diyas from them. These decorated diyas are sold for a profit, and the profits are g
